Transfer rumours are now starting to ramp up with only a week to go until the deadline.
Belotti, Vardy, Aubameyang, Drinkwater, Marchisio are just some of the names we're supposedly looking at.
In the players mentioned above, Drinkwater, Marchisio and Vardy (although not everyones cup of tea) I'd like to see.
Vardy while I doubt it'll happen and he's already 30, in the Champions League I believe he'd be a great option for us and something different. He's got that pace for us to play balls in behind and for him to chase after when we're under pressure defensively. We all know against real, Barcelona etc we'll struggle for possession (and I don't mean that negatively) .
We don't currently have a different option to get out when we're under pressure and I feel someone like Vardy could offer us something different, if only for a season or two.

Please please PLEASE make the Marchisio to Chelsea rumour reality - a TRULY World Class player.

Miss Darren Wood. Totally agree with you on Marchisio, he's a great player and Conte knows him well from managing Juve and Italy. Would be a great addition to our midfield.

Marchiso for small fee as think is in his 30's? Be a lot like cesc, great on ball but would get overrun in midfield, rumours of vardy are interesting as he runs in behind and stretches teams and works his arse off, personally if like bit more class as in auba or belotti but begged can't be choosers.

Marchiso is a very good player but 31 and with Juventus wanting silly money and with little resale value we should be able to spend our money better than that. Torino wanting £92m for Bellotti is way too much but we are now in a 'take a chance' period as we need someone else upfront urgently. Personally, I would pay less for Vardy who is Premiership ready.

Resale value being mentioned again.! When did we turn into Arsenal? Or a Fifa / football manager team? Who cares what they cost? Not my money. Nor is it yours? Don't get the big worry over fees etc.
We can't keep going for youngsters. We need some experience to help us along too!

They run a business CFCAdam so TRY thinking it is your money and trust me you would not waste it. They make mistakes but overall value for money is what they look for hence our lucrative but often frustrating loan scheme.

Why do I have to TRY and think it's my money? It never will be so why do I need too? I'm not in charge of the finances! as ed002 has previously said fans worry too much about the money side of things and it's true. The club won't pay over the odds for a player. Been burnt by that before. But they will pay whatever they think the player is worth. Who cares if it's £5m, £25m, £50m or £150m. I don't. the only people that go on about net spend and account books etc is Arsenal. F**k that. It's football, I love football and will always pay attention to be playing side. Not the financial side of things.

C1955, you say that Marchisio is 31 with no resale value but then say we should go for 30 year old Vardy who would not come cheap!
22 Aug 2017 18:16:07
Yet Man Utd signed Matic for £40m and he's 29 years old. can't see them complaining!
22 Aug 2017 19:22:59
Miss D: I understand what you say but we need a striker double quick and as outlined by others he offers something we lack. Moving back to Marchiso and his role, not so pressing. Re: Matic. Many wanted him out as we had two poor almost disinterested seasons from him. We get £40m and we certainly are not complaining and does anyone really think he will improve! Give the fans time and they will moan as we did.
